India is an independent sovereign nation and a United States associated state consisting of the whole of the Indian Subcontinent. The region is commonly called India in contemporaneous usage, however the formal political union is also called the United Indian Republic was one of the founding members of the American protectorate system.
India was divided for much of its history, having only been unified for less than a century by the British Empire, prior to the Compact of Free Association with the United States. India was divided between fifteen nation-states prior to unification after the Third Mexican War (2141), and after the end of British rule in 1947 the subcontinent was split between two Muslim and one Hindu majority states.
History[]
British Raj[]
Decolonization and Independence[]
The Flood[]
The famine caused by The Flood plunged Pakistan into civil war, prompting India to send a large military force to the India-Pakistan Border to maintain security. However, the large influx of refugees into Kashmir caused by the war between Afghanistan and various Pakistani factions eventually caused an uprising against Indian administration. India, wanting to focus more on addressing the Bangladeshi revolt, granted the Kashmiris independence after Iran and the US agreed to help India remove nuclear weapons from Pakistan.
As for the Bangladeshi revolt, the Bangladeshi government collapsed in October 2027, prompting a large influx of 80 million Bengali Muslim refugees into northeast India, and the Indian government struggled to provide adequate accommodations for them, causing the Bengali population in West Bengal and northeast India to revolt against the Indian government. They were soon joined by the Assamese and other northeast Indian ethnic groups wishing to gain more autonomy from India. Between 2027-2029, the forces of the People's Republic of Bangladesh expelled all Indian forces and defeated opposing ethnic militias to consolidate a new stable Bangladeshi government, and in May 2029 India recognized the new borders of Bangladesh in the Kolkata Accords.
During the Bangladesh-India War, the former state of Sikkim voted to join Nepal, seceding from India as all-out fighting broke out between the Bangladeshis and Indians, and they closed off their border and largely avoided the chaos that engulfed the rest of the subcontinent.
Food shortages, riots, and military defections were the order of the day for India for over a decade as the nation's military made every attempt to keep the country together. The national government cracked down on civil liberties, nationalized agriculture and briefly instituted a 1-Child Policy to hold the country together.
World War III[]
India was a member of the United States-led alliance in the war, but their role in the war is limited given the domestic instability of the country, and the Indians only sent minimal military aid and personnel to aid in the fighting, in addition to embargoes on Coalition countries
